I use the parking meters daily at the train station and obviously dont get a receipt.. it costs me £3 perday.
Can I claim for these even without receipt ?

Originally posted by MordacYes you can challenge it, but after several weeks most people give up. After all, it's my word against the wardens that I was parked in a P&D bay as opposed to a residents permit bay. And Camden is famous for it's ambiguous signs - I pointed out a few and they were still there years later. The system is designed to be as confusing as possible, in the hope that people just pay the £50 and be done with it.
Thankfully the NewLie (or is it OldLie) scum got kicked out on the back of it.
The day I was there, one of the (more attractive) if there is such a thing, traffic wardens had been brought back to the office by the police, apparently
she'd been shot in the leg with an air rifle (this is Grays remember), and there'd also been several incidents of different assaults in the same week.
But anyway, appeals are always turned down, its a no win no win situation.
You would need to come up with a serious amount of bs to get out of one.
I was issued a fixed penalty while my missus was in labour, still had to pay
sadistic bast*rds

If you genuinely can't understand the signs, then they are almost certainly invalid, and not enforceable.

Originally posted by MordacIn Camden you can be perfectly legally parked and get a ticket. It's happened to me several times. They also make the parking signs so fiendishly difficult to understand that they get all the tourists and foreigners. The parking wardens definitely can't understand them (or indeed basic English) so the innocent motorist gets fecked over. It's almost certainly the reason Liebour lost Camden.

What do you expect from a borough that gives its attendants cars for a job well done !
I got ticketed same road twice last month because I had two wheels on the curb.
I now put the yellow ticket cover with a cardbord on my dashboard with the word F###ING BA###RDS written on it
they are scum !

Originally posted by ASBYou come back 5 hours over your limit to a car parking fine.
It does seem a bit unreasonable that this should be a personal liability.
.....
So, if you do get a ticket put it through and see what your accountant says. [Mine said no but YMMV].
A ticket from a traffic warden would be different.

Penalties by the state (inc local government) are not claimable. Not sure that applies to penalties by private companies, NCP and and so on.
